Newark Bears Parking Garage | Newark, NJ

from the client

“The decision to construct a totally precast/prestressed concrete structure for the Essex County Sportsplex Parking Garage was an easy one to make very early during the design process. The design of the exterior spandrel panels was a key factor in that decision, along with the precaster’s reputation for producing durable, quality products, speed of construction at the jobsite, and other modular constructability issues. Once a designer uses precast in their designs…they’re going to love it.”
